Default buying a trail cam

I was thinking about investing in a deer cam, but not wanting to pay a whole lot of money for one, probably would get stolen, for the luck I have, what would be a pretty decent cam, and price?

Im guessing stealth cam. there from $100-$400they take nice pictures. Cuddeback is another nice one but there a lil on the expensive side. If i were you i'd go for the digital ones there alot better and cheaper in the future since you dont have to buy film. Hope you find the right one.

I've been thinking about getting one too! If I do it will probably be a Stealthcam. But, I've been thinking, I'd rather be surprised on the actual hunt, than disappointed because the big boy on tape, doesn't show up for the shoot!

I was given one of the cheap cameras from Walmart. Like $100 or something. It actually works amazingly well and the pictures turn out well. I think Bass Pro has them too. With a little memory chip, it can store a lot of pics. I have no complaints.

I have two of the Moultrie Game Spy 100s, with the 1.3 megapixel. They work great. I have countless pics I could show you. Bass Pro has them for $69. Well worth it....

I have the Moultrie Game Spy 100, 1.3 megapixel and it works great. It will even take a 10 sec video clip.

Some of the cheapest cameras are the Stealth 35mm's

They taken very good pictures for the money. The problem with them is...you are always buying film, batteries and paying to have the film developed. You could buy rechargable batteries( they pay for themselves after a while) and to just get the pictures put on a CD instead of actual pictures. This is cheaper.

If you want to go digital, the Wildviews are about the cheapest.

The Wildview .3 megapixel does not put date or time on the photo. The flash is weak and only has a 15 ft. flash range ( most other cameras have at least a 30 flash range)

The Wildview 2.0 megapixel does put a date and time but still has the 15 ft. flash range. It does take better quality photos.

Both Wildviews have an ultra slow trigger time which will miss many shots. You just have to set it in areas where deer will linger a bit.

Anyone with the moultrie $100 cameras....roughly how many pictures do you get before replacing the battery? or how many days?

I would look into the Non Typical DC 200. Not the newest model, but the last one. with the Infinity XB camera not the Olympus Trip 505. $150 -$170 and is an excellent camera system.
